Financial Aid

Families in need of tuition assistance may request forms from the principal in February and apply for financial aid through the Archdiocesan Scholarship Fund (processed through TADS) and The BASIC Fund.

Parent Participation

 

Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School requires each School family to be active members of the School community. Each family is expected to meet a specified number of Service Points within the school year: 50 points for a 2-parent household and 25 points for a single parent household. Points are allotted for each approved donation, volunteer activity, or leadership role undertaken within the School’s yearly calendar and for the events sanctioned by the Administration. The PTO Executive Board collaborates with the Administration and Staff to identify and organize the activities and opportunities for families to meet their participation obligation.

Parent Participation acknowledges and respects that tuition does not cover the full and true cost of a child’s education at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School.   Fundraisers provide the opportunity to fill in the gap between tuition and actual cost. So it follows that all families are required to participate in the School’s fundraising programs, including TWO mandatory fundraisers as jointly determined by the Parent Teacher Organization and the administration. Unpaid mandatory fundraising costs and other fees will automatically be charged to the families’ FACTS accounts. Families not meeting the service point requirements by May 31^st, will be assessed a flat fee of $1,000.
